Don't snigger but where can I get a nice padded breastfeeding bra?

I know, I know breasts are meant to inflate and look more womanly than ever a few days after childbirth and why would you want them any bigger blah, blah BUT last time I just didn't experience that at all and my dreary, greying M&S nursing bras made me feel really depressed about the state of my boobs. This time around I'm looking for something a little bit sexy that will give them some shape with perhaps a little a bit of padding and, gasp, even an underwire. Any ideas?

Thanks, ladies

PS Also, have just been measured (am almost 36 weeks preg) and told that I will go up a cup size (from a 36B to a 36C) but I'm really dubious, I really don't remember my size changing that much last time and the B cup is definitely on the roomy side at the moment. what do you reckon?

Any other small-breasted breastfeeders out there?

Haven't tried them myself, but loads of people on here recommend a company called Hotmilk for pretty feeding bras.

Thanks Poledra will take a look

I am pretty small too. Hotmilk are lovely, I tried one on before dd was born and it was amazing, she's a year old now and I'm getting all deflated so I am def going to invest in one! Check out the Elle Macphearson ones too, I have found they give you a lovely shape.

Sounds promising, thanks Indith

Debenhams have a couple of nice ones - they're not strictly speaking padded, but have nice 'structured' cups, which has the same effect - have a bit of lace as well. On sale in some places at the mo as well. Cheaper than Hot Milk if you're not yet sure of size.

I got a couple of padded ones from Debenhams. Miriam wotsername (the tv Doctor) designed them.

I too have small boobs and went to John Lewis expecting to have to have the very unlovely emma jane sports bras again but no, they found me some elle mcpherson ones which despite being a c cup seem to fit (they are less structured in the cup which might help). They were expensive but well worth it to feel that I am at least wearing nice underwear!
